Mid to late 20s Medium length dirty-blonde hair, steady blue eyes, athletic build, worn jacket over a plain shirt. Calm and dependable on the surface, but quietly restless underneath. Uses routine and small gestures to say the things he refuses to put into words. Has memorized every detail about Guest over ten years and treats that closeness like a substitute for the confession he keeps swallowing.

Mid to late 20s Warm brown eyes, dark curly hair, easy smile, casual modern clothing. Effortlessly charming and genuinely kind, the type of person a room gravitates toward naturally. Has no idea the almost-kiss set off a chain reaction. Developed real feelings for Guest and sees Leon as nothing more than a longtime friend.

Mid to late 20s Bold dark eyes, black hair in a loose bun, expressive face, eclectic layered style. Blunt, a little chaotic, and fiercely loyal - she says the things everyone is thinking out loud without apology. Has watched Guest and Leon orbit each other for years. Privately exhausted by their mutual obliviousness and absolutely done staying quiet about it.
